“The best place I’ve ever been to for a birthday celebration! The waiter Michael was on point with everything we needed at the table! No need to ask him for anything because he brought it perfectly on time! Highly recommend this place!!!Parking: The hardest thing was finding parking spots! One person even got a huge ticket so be mindful that where ever you park look for signs!“

“Service is friendly but the BBQ is only ok. Blue Ribbon is a lot better but if you're in Harvard, this might have to do. The brisket isn't that tender but the sausage is decent. The pulled pork is passable. I liked the cornbread and the brussel sprouts though!“

“Rewriting my review because the place has changed hands and changed menus. Pleasantly surprised to see that brunch was still on the menu, and even more pleasantly surprised to see these awesome Indian brunch fusion dishes. We got the butter chicken eggs Benedict and the masala chai French toast. It was super fun and delicious, definitely considering becoming a regular. My only regret is that the portions have shrunk somewhat since the previous owners.“

“Ok so first point is the food was awesome. Friendly staff, and good location. The price is good, a little less than typical for bbq. We had 3 meals which consisted of brisket, ribs and half chicken with the sides of Mac n cheese (which to me could use a little smoke flavor or cheese with a little more flavor. Could just be a personal preference. ) baked beans and Brussel sprouts.Overall fantastic meal for good price.They need a bigger seating area but for a new BBQ place in New England they are on their way to becoming well known for great food. Will visit again soon. Great job CODE 1 !!!!!“

“One of the best Sichuan restaurants in town!!! Although it’s hard to find parking around the area. It’s my go-to place if hungry for some authentic Chinese food. The flavor is rich and on-point, their BBQ is another must-try from the menu. Highly recommended!“

“Incredible experience! Wait staff were very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Food was cooked to perfection for us over a charcoal grill. Very tasty sides dishes. Next time in Boston we will definitely be back. One of our waiters, Jinoh, was in training and gave great service! Hello from Nova Scotia Jinoh!“

“We’ve been to the Brookline location before and now that we’ve been to the Harvard location we love both! We were running a little late due to parking and they were very accommodating. We had Sprite as our server and he was very helpful, attentive, friendly, and answered any questions we had. We ordered the meat lovers and loved it! We can’t wait to come back with more friends to try the all you can eat!“

“Hands down, the Best BBQ in Greater Boston. Best of all, it's cheaper than a flight to Texas. Place is a garage in Union Square with no seating - it's takeout only. The guy that runs the spot is super passionate about the craft and was kind enough to chat and explain the process. Only caveat is that the brisket sells out fairly early. The sides are very good, don't sleep on them. Between this place, BT's in Sturbridge and Rusty Can in Byfield - the New England *good* Q scene is slowly improving.“

“Nice choice after we viewed the Gardner museum which is a ten minute walk even on a rainy day on a Saturday afternoon. Service was friendly. Get the biscuits and a brisket burnt ends sandwich. Side salad was also very good with Brussels sprouts hazelnuts and other ingredients!“

“Such a great experience, our server Jenn could not have been more accommodating or friendly! Highly recommend the Tuscan wings and the Melanzana pizza pizza, wow! You won't regret it. We will be back, regularly. Also great coloring books and crayons which with our kids goes a LONG way!“

“I went to Paul Baier’ Woodstock AI meetup at The Smoke Shop in Kendall Square and met some amazing people. The service was good, I had an Irish coffee while meeting with everyone at the place which was very accommodating to our event. It was great ??“

“Once again you and your wonderful staff at Coast Cafe, have outdone yourselves!! Joshua's birthday celebration was an amazing time and partly due to your delicious food. Everyone gave high praise to every dish and went back for seconds and thirds. Thank you so much for being such a Beacon of Light in the Community! We love Coast Cafe!!“

“Customer on service on point when I walked in. Multiple people saying hi. Guy comes over and tells me how system works, sides then meat. Asked him for medium rare. Found a medium rare piece for me. Took me through all the meats they offer. Set me up with a great box. Food was hot, savory, and succulent. I moved nearby. I'll be eating a lot of meat.“

“Food: 74/80 (92.5%). We ordered a variety of meat skewers, corn, cold noodles, and foil enoki. Everything was delicious especially the corn, foil enoki, and lamb skewer. Only lost some points because some of the beef skewers were slightly dry.Service/Atmosphere 8/10. Service was quick, good atmosphere.Re-eatability 8/10. Quite a big menu, not too expensive.Overall: 90/100. Very chill vibes and great food. Will definitely be going back as I think they have a lot of unique food on their menu that you don't see often at other restaurants.“

“What a perfect little BBQ place in Arlington, MA! When you enter, you place your order at the cash register, and they tell you when your food is ready. There is no table service. I ordered the North Carolina pulled pork sandwich without the bun (for GF) with green beans and baked beans. The portions were so large that I took half of the pulled pork home! Three other people in my party ordered the BBQ burrito and thought it was delicious! Another person ordered the Texas Hot Links Platter, and they also took home leftovers.There were multiple choices for the flavor of their homemade BBQ sauce, and I actually bought a bottle of their original sauce to bring home! The shop had only 3 small tables for seating, but many customers were picking up take out.Dietary restrictions: Right away I asked which of their foods contained gluten. The person who took my order was knowledgeable and pleasant. They easily explained that their meats and most sides were gluten free while the obvious things such as Mac&cheese, the cornbread, and the sandwich buns were not.“
